Poll Shows GOP Approval of Same-Sex Relationships Plummeted in 2023

Conservatives have used LGBTQ rights as a cudgel over the past year, with right-wing outlets like Fox News falsely calling the Pride flag a sign of “grooming and pedophilia” when it flew on the White House this week, and GOP lawmakers attacking companies like Target for selling Pride merchandise this month.

You see, I’m talking about cutting taxes, people go like that,” Trump said, mimicking tepid applause. “I talk about transgender, everyone goes crazy. Who would have thought? Five years ago, you didn’t know what the hell it was!”
 
Men and older Americans were also considerably more likely to describe same-sex relationships as immoral.

Like BLM and racial issues, all the contreversy about LGBTQ rigths will eternaly be at stake because there will always be those ultra religious biggots to fight for their «maleness» so they can be conforted being REAL heterosexuals....

USA will never change and the LGBTQ rights as black rights are never be part of the main stream AMERICA..

Thank God, if he exist, I live in Canada.

The religious bigots have made a lot of headway since the twice-impeached, twice-indicted, ex-president rode down his golden escalator.
